Loose 690


Edward just shrugged, sounding totally relaxed. “Once a family’s built its empire, it’s not about conquering anymore–it’s about holding onto what you’ve got.

I let out a little “oh,” realizing even the rich have their own pecking order.

Seeing I was still a bit lost, Edward brushed a windblown strand from my face and spoke softly, “Sometimes, I think about starting a family again. Maybe it’s just in a man’s nature to want that.”

“Is that so? I’m not really into that idea,” I said, looking down and twisting my fingers together. “Maybe I just see things differently. Right now, I want freedom, and I want to try out different ways of living.”

“Yeah, if there’s ever anything you want or wish for, just tell me. I’ll make it happen for you, anytime,” Edward said, completely straightforward.
